lubing with liquid alox

[colt45cz75]

As I am on my first foray into casting my own, I got some molds and have been experimenting. As I was trying to figure the best way to lubricate the little buggers, it hit me. I took a 2 litre coke bottle, washed it out and after it dried I tried a load of 10mm bullets. Stuffed 100 in there, squirted in some alox and after rolling them around for about 30 seconds they had a nice film of lube and no mess to deal with. I could even get 50 cal in and out no problem. You can really get the little bastards rolling in there. Anybody else try this?

No, I've been using the same ice cream pail for 5 years now.

lubing with Alox

I just did the same thing for the first time last week. The Lee Alox works well.
I just put 400 .44 mag bullets I cast in a plastic dollar store 4 liter bowl.
Just squirt a tiny amount of lube and give the bowl a swirling motion until all the bullets get covered by the gold colored lube.

Then lay it out ona cookie type sheet to dry overnight to a waxy consistency. Lee says this is all the lube their cast bulleys need

I just use a Sandwich Bag. Put in 100 or so, add a dollop of Alox, zip the bag closed, then shake it, squish the bullets around with your fingers from the outside, and dump them onto a piece of paper. Toss the Sandwich Bag. I stand them up to dry overnight.
